I can never understand why any parent would want to cook different meals for different members of the family. (Of course I do understand when food intolerances etc are involved, but most meals can be adapted to suit all). My two now have healthy appetites, are not fussy and will eat anything put in front of them. Unlike some I know who were brought up on chicken nuggets and smiley faces and will now eat nothing else. Shame on you food companies, but really as parent's we do have a choice. Just say no.Molly and the Princesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06176955093679358731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5015030219140669520.post-23264571023107003982012-06-13T17:51:07.597+01:002012-06-13T17:51:07.597+01:00Hi Samantha, thanks so much for your time, great ...Hi Samantha, thanks so much for your time, great comment xLiz Burtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05860282774080831783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5015030219140669520.post-21070412800428572542012-06-13T15:06:26.424+01:002012-06-13T15:06:26.424+01:00Breakfast time, I keep a large selection of cereal...Breakfast time, I keep a large selection of cereals that they can choose from. I'll even do pancakes or fried egg if thats what they want before school.<br /><br />We generally too eat the same meals that I cook from scratch, though one is not keen on spag bowl, so the mince part is left off the plate, but she is given something like cherry tomatoes instead. Neither like curry or paella, which I do, some I will cook them something different then. i try not to buy ready meals, about as far as it goes is the occassional pizza as I worry about what is in there. I prefer to know what goes into my meals.<br /><br />Puddings are eaten in our house after dinner but we wait until we have all finished the dinner part. It can be a yoghurt, pancakes or ice cream, and occassionally I'll bake something like apple crumble (though that depends in the weather and if I remembered cooking apples!).<br /><br />I do not take the children shopping as it is easier to do it without them as I can whizz or dawdle as I fancy. I will listen to them if they ask for a particular meal and cook it or something from the shop like a particular snack; though if it is normally something expensive, but maybe on offer, I may buy it.<br /><br />If they wish for a snack between meals or after school, I try to stear them towards the fruit before they have a 'treat'.<br /><br />For me its balancing how much I spend to the health benefits for the girls and me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5015030219140669520.post-14229522214926379212012-06-13T11:57:47.134+01:002012-06-13T11:57:47.134+01:00Wow, tricky balancing act in your house then!

In our house meals are very tricky, I'm a vegetarian (attempting to loose weight) My husband is a gluten intolerant who doesn't really like vegetables and our daughter is 16 and eats almost anything. However I am very conscious that she still needs a balanced diet to keep her healthy, particularly as she dances 3 evenings a week and is in the middle of revision and exams. <br />Like you we have always fed our children adult food rather than novelty things and always talked to them about what they need to eat to be healthy. I'm proud to say that even now she is old enough to make her own decision she still insists on porridge or weetabix for breakfast, usually with fruit on and prefers wholemeal bread to white. Although also secretly proud that she is as much of a chocoholic as I am!<br />I think encouraging the children to be part of the whole process from selecting recipes, shopping and cooking is always the best way to teach them healthy eating habits and skills for adult lifeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5015030219140669520.post-42749362595413215552012-06-13T11:30:46.981+01:002012-06-13T11:30:46.981+01:00Thanks Jane xThanks Jane xLiz Burtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05860282774080831783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5015030219140669520.post-2435683036721971912012-06-13T11:23:06.072+01:002012-06-13T11:23:06.072+01:00We all generally eat the same food - my kids (aged...We all generally eat the same food - my kids (aged 6 & 9)know about nutrition and heath but also about things in moderation. We do the shopping without them (it'd take FOREVER otherwise) and take account of things they don't like but we do encourage them to try everything at least once. My priorities are around health and cost.Janenoreply@blogger.com
